“Because Todd Akin’s bat-crap crazy ideas on rape are going to make it so much harder for [R]epublicans to win control of the Senate. Right now, Democrats hold 51 Senate seats, Republicans 47, independents 2. Republicans would need to pick up four seats to gain control of the Senate. They would need only three seats if Mitt Romney actually won the election, because then the vice president, Paul Ryan, would be able to cast a tie-breaking votes.”

But according to Coulter, O’Donnell['s] failure to invite her to appear on his show makes him “a complete pussy”....

The link goes to The Daily Caller (which badly needs proofreading — I had to fix 2 things in this short cut-and-paste). The main reason I'm linking to this item is that the picture of O'Donnell looks so much like Akin.

I looked for a picture of Akin to make my point and got distracted by — speaking of "a complete pussy" — this.

roesch/voltaire said...As usual Coulter is just trying to keep the conversation civil as she would never sink to the level of exaggerated personal attacks.

Such touching concern for civility from the person who dropped this nugget in the Twisted Sister thread:

Don't mistake me, I clearly see that Ryan has a whole lotta "rage" in him: A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment. Basically the only thing he's not raging against is the privileged elite he's groveling in front of for campaign contributions.

I will confess I find this forum rather interesting in terms of the topics the host presents for discussion, however it is depressing to view the lack of intellectual honesty among the liberal/left commentariat.

Ms. Coulter plays the same game that the Left's professional pit-bulls (Carville, Begala, Beckel, O'Donnell, Matthews) do -- throw grenades, filibuster, talk over, refuse the other side the last word. She's cracked the cable shout-fest code -- challenge the interviewers' slanted questions, call out the other guests' fabrications and non-sequiturs pass *as they are uttered*, "stay on offense" as someone said above.

It's tedious and unpleasant to watch, but then so is going under the house to trap varmints. That's why one needs a terrier like Anne Coulter (or Laura Ingraham or Liz Cheney) vs. a poodle like Tucker Carlson.
